Authorities say that part of the truck was sticking out into the northbound lane of I-75.

"That caused another semi to stop. When that vehicle stopped there was another vehicle that ran into the back of it, ran up underneath it," said Deputy Sheriff Matt Bryant.

Mills was taken to a Berea hospital. The Madison County coroner confirms that he died there.

Authorities say wet roads contributed to the crash.

"Very hazardous out here, roadways are very wet. They're getting colder by the hour and there's heavy traffic right now with some early spring break traffic and it's just pretty treacherous right now," Bryant said.
